STORYLINE
In Muslim majority Indonesia, it is not surprising that Islam plays an important role in many ways, including in political campaigning.
In this fiercely-fought presidential election, all of the candidates are betting on their Islamic credentials to woo voters.
The head of Nahdatul Ulama, Indonesia's largest Islamic organisation, Hasyim Muzadi is Indonesian president Megawati Sukarnoputri's choice for number two for obvious reasons.
Megawati, who has seen a sharp drop of popularity in recent time, hopes to broaden her own nationalist appeal with having Muzadi by her side.
Meanwhile Muzadi, who been criticised for taking the offer, sees himself as moral guardian of Megawati's presidency.
Golkar party candidate Wiranto has taken a similar approach and picked cleric Solahuddin Wahid as his running mate.
Solahuddin is an executive in the Muslim-dominated National Awakening Party, which gained a significant number of votes during the parliamentary election this year.
But voters are not easily convinced.
